Viele mittelständische Industrieunternehmen nutzen LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook oder Instagram bereits aktiv – erzielen darüber jedoch kaum hochwertige Kundenanfragen. Während viele Unternehmen weiterhin auf Messefotos, Maschinenbilder oder interne Unternehmensnews setzen, verändert sich das Informationsverhalten von Entscheidern im B2B-Vertrieb massiv. Einkäufer, Geschäftsführer und technische Leiter informieren sich heute digital über Anbieter, Lösungen und Kompetenzen.In dieser Episode erklärt Anes Cavka, warum klassische Imageposts selten kaufkräftige Anfragen erzeugen und worauf es im modernen B2B-Content-Marketing wirklich ankommt. Statt reiner Selbstdarstellung müssen Industrieunternehmen lernen, Inhalte vertriebsnah aufzubauen, konkrete Probleme anzusprechen und technische Kompetenz sichtbar zu machen. Besonders wichtig sind dabei Fallstudien, technische Problemlösungen, Branchenmeinungen und konkrete Kundenvorteile.
What does it take to build a brand in B2B that people actually talk about? Udi Ledergor has a word for it. Courage. He was employee #13 at Gong. The first, and for a long time, only marketer. He joined when nobody had heard of them, with 11 paying customers and zero brand presence. By the time he stepped back, Gong was doing $300M ARR, had five of the Fortune 10 as clients, and had become one of the most recognisable names in B2B. He did it by building what he calls courageous marketing — the belief that attention only goes to brands willing to do something genuinely different. Not different for the sake of it. Different because playing it safe, copying competitors, and following the same templates everyone else follows is the surest way to be completely invisible. We sat down with Udi live in London, and the conversation went places we didn't expect.
IN CLEAR FOCUS: In our first episode of 2026, B2B marketer Devin Bramhall discusses why traditional content playbooks are failing.

Ever get lost down a YouTube rabbit hole when you were supposed to be checking your own channel? You click to review your latest video and somehow end up watching celebrities or cat videos instead. You're not alone—and this distraction problem is exactly what's happening to your potential B2B customers too.In this episode, I talk with Nate Woodbury, CEO of Be The Hero Studios and author of "Influence on YouTube." Nate reveals why most YouTube advice actually hurts B2B companies and shares his proven LEAF Strategy that helps businesses generate high-quality leads from YouTube—even with videos that only get 100 views.Together, we discuss how to:Use the LEAF Strategy to find ultra-specific questions your target audience is actually searching forLeverage keyword research tools that work for B2B (and which popular tools to avoid)Create "evergreen" content that continues attracting qualified leads for yearsTurn small view counts into meaningful business relationships and salesPosition yourself as the go-to authority in your industry without going viralIf you're tired of chasing vanity metrics and ready to use YouTube strategically for lead generation, this conversation offers a completely different approach that focuses on quality over quantity.About Nate: Nate Woodbury is the CEO of Be The Hero Studios and author of "Influence on YouTube." He has produced over 60 different YouTube channels, many generating multiple seven figures in business revenue (not ad revenue) through strategic lead generation.Key Quote: "Even a video that gets a hundred views following the right strategy can turn into 10 leads.

You're still optimizing for Google? That's cute… Marcus Sheridan, author of They Ask, You Answer, joins us for a high-energy episode, he joins host Stephanie Postles to break down why the playbook most B2B marketers are still running is dangerously outdated. They dive deep into the collapse of traditional SEO, the rise of AI-generated answers, and why brands that aren't building trust through video, transparency, and self-service tools are already falling behind. Marcus shares tactical examples from the likes of Liquid Death, Shasta Pools, and his own viral pool pricing content that generated $35M+ in sales. He also drops a bold prediction: your YouTube channel will soon matter more than your website. Whether you're a CMO tired of playing it safe or a marketer trying to sell bold ideas up the chain, this episode is your permission slip to think (and market) differently.

Content has been the lifeblood of how B2B companies go to market for at least 20 years, since Hubspot pioneered the concept of Inbound Marketing. We make content, we drip it out, we nurture people with it, we align it with our funnels, and we have a conviction that it makes people buy things—although that's also quite difficult to prove.The content game is not going anywhere, but it IS changing. And to guide us through those changes, we're chatting today with B2B content expert Ashley Faus, Head of Lifecycle Marketing at Atlassian. Ashley challenges traditional content mapping to the B2B funnel and introduces the idea of a "content playground" where people engage with content in a way that suits them best in a non-linear, non-standard journey. She also delves into the different intents behind content (buy, use, help, trust), the different levels of content (conceptual, strategic, tactical), the nuances between individual and brand-led content, and the growing role of B2B creators.Thanks to Our SponsorMany thanks to the sponsor of this episode - Knak.

Today's episode welcomes Aditya Vempaty, VP of Marketing at MoEngage - an insights-led customer engagement platform that can analyze customer behavior and engage them with personalized communication across the web, mobile, and email. MoEngage is a full-stack solution consisting of powerful customer analytics, AI-powered customer journey orchestration, and personalization - in one dashboard.Positioning is an evergreen B2B marketing topic. Technical founders often go down the route of marketing their product based on the features and benefits without taking into account what matters most - the customer's voice. The best way to hear the customer's voice is surveying. In the most recent surveys at MoEngage, Aditya has been focusing on figuring out what channels they use most in cross-channel marketing and which channels are truly effective for his clients. He recommends always to ask about effectiveness, as that will typically be the north star that you can use to cater your messaging around. An omnichannel approach is great in theory, but with the maturity of online platforms people expect to consume content that is catered to them. Before creating, you need to put in some serious time into understanding where your customers natively reside, what formats they prefer and what a truly native experience feels like. Aditya recommends that you figure out a few platforms and formats that are your best bets and then focus on how to drive customer engagement.Tune into the full episode to learn how to master positioning!Connect with Aditya - https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityavempaty/Connect with Alan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-j-zhao/Want to convert your website visitors instantly?

The content playbook that worked in the 2010's doesn't work anymore. Things like search keyword search volume, word count, post date/time don't have the same impact they used to. Instead working backwards from keyword to content, good content marketing does the reverse—start with a question you think you can answer better than someone else. Don't worry about the keywords for now.There are two steps to nailing good content in 2023: Understand the problem. Who are you talking to? What are the questions they're asking? Articulate the problem in terms they connect with. Look at existing content on the topic and ask yourself: “Can I add real value to these results?” Be critical: will your point of view make a meaningful contribution? If you can really solve a problem better than others—you can probably say something about it. Google is overflowing with content by folks who chose a keyword to rank for, then wrote content that tries to rank for it without any expertise on the topic. As a result, so much B2B content is generic, basic, and long-winded. Strong content strategy starts with a common problem or question and expert-level content. SEO considerations should only come after you've created content worth being consumed. A collection of people have a problem You understand and can articulate that problem You can expertly answer their problem better than others People can find your answer There are, of course, things that will make your content perform better (proper markup, strong UX, good core web vitals, backlinks, interlinking, etc.—but if you don't start with a foundation of good material that someone will find valuable—it won't get you far.
